HD 6970 Bios flashing gone wrong

i followed the guide from this video and my gpu is still bricked because i keep getting the error "this program cannot be run in DOS mode"

my hardware :
A8-5500B @4.2 GHz
8 GB DDR3
HD 6970 (which somehow came with an unverified bios)
the bios version was 013.012.000.047.000000 and i tried to update it to a normal bios but the sub id wasnt compatiable then i upodated it to 013.012.000.049.000000 and it bricked .

by accident i was using the "atiflash" from the AtiWinFlash folder (that's the file that wouldn't work in DOS mode), so i google "atiflash 4.17" and downloaded it. It's gonna be a .zip file with only one file inside named "atiflash-4.17". Rename it to just "atiflash" and use Rufus to create a bootable USB. Make sure it's FAT32 & FreeDOS. Then simply drag your .bios file & the atiflash file you just renamed over to the USB (they go at the root of your USB). Go into your bios and boot from your USB stick and when in tap any key until you reach a C:\ part. Type "dir" it'll show all your files on the USB. then type "atiflash" then atiflash -f -p 0 [BIOS_filename].rom and it should take literally less than 5-10 seconds to flash the old bios back onto your AMD GPU.

Awesome that you figured it out! Was about to tell you to download the DOS version :)
